Ahead of the Boxing Day Ashes Test match in Melbourne, Australia's head coach Justin Langer said that while the hosts will look to win every Test match, their focus is not on a 5-0 scoreline. 

Langer said that winning the World Cup and the Ashes were his 2 missions and as they did in the World T20, Australia will take one game at a time. 'We've won two Test matches. We've got one to go and hopefully from our point of view, that happens this Test match,' added the Aussie head coach.

Australia leads the 5-match Ashes series 2-0, and a win in the 3rd Test starting December 26 will give them an unassailable 3-0 lead in the Ashes series.
